Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/24] mm/hugetlb: Introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages in the struct hstate

If the size of hugetlb page is 2MB, we need 512 struct page structures
(8 pages) to be associated with it. As far as I know, we only use the
first 3 struct page structures and only read the compound_dtor members
of the remaining struct page structures. For tail page, the value of
compound_dtor is the same. So we can reuse first tail page. We map the
virtual addresses of the remaining 6 tail pages to the first tail page,
and then free these 6 pages. Therefore, we need to reserve at least 2
pages as vmemmap areas.

So we introduce a new nr_free_vmemmap_pages field in the hstate to
indicate how many vmemmap pages associated with a hugetlb page that we
can free to buddy system.
